Stories in the Forest: Spring Woods Walk

a small cgrassy clearing in a forest, with white pines to the right and in the midground. Camel's Hump mountain is visible in the background, its pealk obscured by clouds.

Forests and woodlands cover about 75% of Vermont’s land area. From the time of glacial retreat to now, forests have regularly risen and fallen, influenced by the effects of climate conditions, natural disasters, and human activity.

How does a forest develop? What are its vertical and horizontal profiles? Which stories, or layers, define a maturing forest? Forest-dwelling birds use different sections of the forest column to satisfy an array of needs. Which birds can be found in Vermont’s forests …and where? Look to the trees to find Stories in the Forest.

Please dress for weather. Face masks required when we are within 6 feet of each other.
